The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Wake Forest University invites applications for two tenure-track positions in statistics to begin in July 2020, to meet the rapidly growing demand for statistics at Wake Forest University and to lay the foundation for continued development. We seek faculty with a commitment to excellence in both teaching and research, a desire to mentor both undergraduate and graduate students, and a commitment to enhance the breadth, depth, and diversity of our statistics programs. Positions are open to all areas of statistics. These positions are at the assistant level, but hiring at the associate level may be considered under exceptional circumstances. A Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics or a related area is required. The pre-tenure teaching load is two courses per semester (or equivalent).

The department has twenty-four permanent faculty members, with eight statisticians whose research interests include the areas of networks, applied probability, statistical methodology, bioinformatics, ecological statistics, record linkage, statistical education, functional data, causal inference, biostatistics, spatio-temporal models, Bayesian methods, environmental statistics, and actuarial science. Statistics programs within the department include both a B.A. and a B.S. in Mathematical Statistics, and an M.A. with a track in Mathematical Statistics. In addition, the department offers a B.A. and a B.S. in Mathematics, a B.S. in Applied Mathematics, a B.S. in each of Mathematical Business and Mathematical Economics, and an M.A. with a track in Mathematics, along with a vibrant research atmosphere across many areas of mathematics.
